On a similar note I talked to a friend last night that is making moink balls today as a practice for a a similar party. He is going to roll them in panko crumbs to give them a crisp crunch. He will report back his findings to me. I will keep you guys posted to his results

BC- I guess I got the play wrong. Woodson with the fumble recovery for 6, and the interception to seal the victory it was a good game. Thought my Raiders were going to throw it away

Well Wolfpack, I'm glad you got to enjoy the game. I'm a bit disappointed that I did not even get to watch it.

As for sauces, I know that adobo and chipotle go famously together. You might even like a teriyaki baste/glaze. Even the Kikkoman brand I believe would work well. You could even doctor that with sesame seeds, crushed red chile, etc.

As for savory, I wonder how a hollandaise or Bernaise or even a ranch type sauce would work? I bet a smoked, thick cream of mushroom soup would top that nice.

Back again. This time, I look to present some party wings pit cooked with this "Tiger Sauce." I find it to be somewhat unique and delicious. It's sweet, sour, salty, and hot-- catching one's taste buds on many levels. If you can imagine combining cayenne peppers with vinegar, sugar, worcestershire and a pinch of salt, then you have some idea of what this might be like, if not familiar with it.

So, here we go out to the pit with the frozen party wings. Went with a hot indirect grilling this time, with mesquite smoke.

I was pleased with the way the skins came out on these, browning nicely while the meat remained moist.

After having a good chat with my brother and sipping a few margaritas, it was time to plate. I doused the wings with the sauce (mixed in a bowl), steamed a bed of organic kale, and split a homegrown pomegranate. I guess it's my fault that Detroit won the ALCS game!

I did a small trial run of Moink Balls. I used a 50/50 mix of Italian sausage and ground chuck. 1/2 were plain the other half were mixed with chopped chipotles and adobo sauce. I coated 3 in Panko crumbs as a trial. Cooked them for an hour and started glazing them in BBQ sauce half way thru (except the panko crusted balls). Added some jalapeno canoes for my effort. I had a few taste test dummies and they all went back for seconds. Everyone agreed the sauced were better than the panko. Sorry no completed pics. Friends came over for dinner and I was rushing to prep for that

Canadian Thanksgiving was Monday October 14. I already wished CG a Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Belated Thanksgiving to any other Canadians out there.To commemorate the day I grilled turkey wings - I had 8 wings cut into 16 pieces - with a Cranberry Buffalo Sauce. Wings were rubbed with Penzey's BBQ 3001. Sauce was 1 can Ocean Spray whole cranberries, 1 stick butter, 3 tbsp. Montego Specialties Jamaican Habanero Hot Sauce, and juice of 1 lime. Celery sticks and blue cheese dressing to go with.When I served them I told my family that I was thankful for Columbus. Without him my Ohio State Buckeyes would probably have to play in Cleveland or Cincinnati.
